Woolfolk Records 1952/10

Fawcett,
Orbit, DC; one final story for Hillman, after writing Sky
Wolf
some years ago; and a new publisher for William Woolfolk: Standard (I
had no
idea he'd worked for them).

UPDATE: I couldn't identify the Superman story; darkmark has supplied the citation. The reason I missed it: I had misidentified an earlier script as "Super Manor"—going by the cover, it seems to me now; I IDed most of these in a batch almost two years ago.

Woolfolk has evidently been told there are no more Captain
Marvel
Jr. stories
needed, but this month sees the last Captain Marvel-related story he
writes, as Fawcett's reign of comic book publishing nears its end.

"Murderous Cargo" is an instance where, instead of changing a
title, Orbit changes a character name: real-life Lucky Luciano
becomes fictional Louie Lusto in the published story.
